Hi Guys, I just found this out. For Wisconsin residents only.

If you want to put your phone number on a state-wide do not call list against telemarketers go here.

For those not in Wisconsin and for those in that state wanting the extra padding, you can sign up for the DMA, the direct marketing assoc. A lot of telemarketers and junk mailers use them, I suppose that they are kind of like the RIAA (Recording industry group) of the advertisers.

They have a form for slowing down telemarketing calls and one for slowing down junk mail. I signed up for it last year, along with my parents and several friends and we have all noticed a drop.

Please don't pay the $5.00 to signup, mail in your form for the cost of a stamp, if you read deep enough into it, you'll see that your only speeding things up by a few weeks and since they only update it quarterly, then it wont matter anyhow until next quarter.
